Section 29 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) guarantees the right to education. In plain language its main points are:
- Everyone has the right to a basic education (including adult basic education) and to further education, and the state must take reasonable measures to make further education progressively available and accessible.
- Everyone has the right to receive education in the official language(s) of their choice in public educational institutions where that is reasonably practicable.
- Everyone has the right to establish and maintain, at their own expense, independent schools that do not discriminate on the basis of race (subject to reasonable state regulation).
If you want the exact, word‑for‑word text, I can paste the full section here or point you to the official source (e.g. the Government of South Africa’s website or the consolidated Constitution PDF). Which would you prefer?
